how long from production end til I get my car?

pikcachu · 03-19-2014, 03:15 PM

just call your dealer... they know exactly what ship it is in... if it's in one

Uridian · 03-19-2014, 04:28 PM

It was a couple days after it left that it updated on the 1800#. I tracked my VIN at the W&W website the morning after the Independence II sailed and saw that my car was indeed on board. It was a couple of days after that that the 1800# updated. It was another day or more until the website switched to "en route".

Since the Don Juan appears to be a W&W vessel, you can put your VIN in here to see if it's on board. Enter your VIN at Cargo ID.

**edit**
The Independence II went out of range in the Celtic Sea two days ago, so I guess it'll pick it back up again once it nears Halifax next week.

Thank you I know it doesn't seem like much but that's a big relief.

i have no idea. but i think mines expect to ship by 4/8. mines going to port hueneme

///cpt · 03-20-2014, 01:25 PM

i put down a deposit a week ago on an m235i and was told it would be a 19th week production, so the second week of may, but i have not received a production number and my client adviser stated i probably wont get a production number until they receive their next allocation next month.

if i already have a production week, shouldn't i have a production number? should i be concerned?..

Put your VIN in Cargo ID, No spaces.

Depending on where its going and on what ship it'll look something like this if it's been booked, received, and loaded.

Unfortunately since your car is going to Port Hueneme, It might not even be on a boat yet depending on when it finished being built.

Thats strange. Build was finished around 3/10, and vehicle in transit on the 17th?

Oh it moved to transit? I'm sorry I didn't exactly know but I would really go check your VIN on the website.

Hm some people said their car doesn't show up on the website at all. It's rare but theres a chance it was sent through a different company or some such thing. If your dealer doesn't know then possibly try calling bmw and not the automated system, they could help you out.

Crispen · 03-28-2014, 02:54 AM

the boat just got through the panama canal!!!

sfheat · 03-31-2014, 02:14 PM

Hi All - My m235i has been in production since 3/25, waiting for it to end. How long does it take to ship to California?

thanks.

Judging from the pictures I posted a little earlier,

5/1/2014 or 5/15/2014 is about when your car will be in the states.

pikcachu · 03-31-2014, 02:50 PM

that boat schedule is actually out of date

the 4/7 boat is now FIGARO which is a 2011 boat and goes faster :-D

sfheat · 03-31-2014, 04:30 PM

Tomorrow it will be a week since production started. Is it too optimistic to think it can be on the April 7th ship ride home?

Did you call the 1-800? what does it say?

Areutalkingtome · 03-31-2014, 04:50 PM

So I just got word my car is on-board the Michigan Highway, voyage number 55A! I cant seem to find a way to check to see if its on the ship, but I found the ship here:

http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/...CHIGAN_HIGHWAY

Its going to Port Brunswick, Georgia. My CA says its ETA at port is April 4th and will be trucked from there!

sfheat · 03-31-2014, 04:50 PM

Didn't know there was an 800 number for checking.
Is this the number?
